Harmonious Action Of Democratic and
Republican Senators.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-After the adjourn
ment If the Senate the Republicans held
short caucus upon the question of filling
committee vacancies, but nothing was done
beyond appointing Caucus Committee OF
seven, of which Senator HOar is chairman,
to arrange the matter. Senators Blair, Al
iison, Evurts, Riddleberger, Dolph and
Sherman are the other members Of the
committee. 1t will have its first meeting
this morning.
The Democratic Committee, having the
same subject in charge. also held u short
meeting, but quorum was not present.
1t is not proposed to make any demand for
u division Of committee chairmanshirs. &C
cording to party strength, the Democrats
holding that the chairmanships belong to
the majority. The Democrats will take no
positive action in arranging minOrties on
tho Senate committees until they got the
Republican lists.
The tendency Of events upon both sides
points to harmonious arrangement Of all
party matters in connection with the or
ganization of the Senate and its ccmmit-
tees.
The seating Of Senator Turpie and the
objection to Senator Faulkner were the re-
suits of an understanding to which both
sides assented.

The Sunhower Badge.

The woman suffragists Of Kansas
lately adopted a yellow ribbon as their
distinctive sign. They call it the
..sunflower badge" They say they
chose it "because, as the sunflower
follows civilization. follows the wheel
track and the plow. so woman suffrage
inevitably follows civilized govern
ment." The suffragists of Massachu-
sets and Pennsylvania have taken up
the idea. and many Of the ''white rib.
bon women" of the w. c. T. U. are

the white one at their buttOn-hOles
The two go well together.-Romos's

A WOMAN'S PLEA.

An Appeal for the Ballot That Should

In the course of a debate in the Cali

favoring woman suffrage. Sister Mary

the following eloquent appeal:

them welcome. She says: Look

whatever is left Of the fairest and the
best. Stay yet Il few days. and then
enter into the councils o. the nation.
Stay yet a few days, and have voice
in saying how this fair land shall be
ruled"
But when an American woman, true
hearted. intelligent and patriotic,
knocks at the door of the council
chamber, she shows forbidding face.
She says: ''Go home! go home! use

The Higher Education.

The Rev. DR.. Dumbcll and the Louis
vile Courser-JourndI are rchashing the
old arguments against the higher edu-
cation of women. They intimate that
if woman is permitted to learn Latin
and Greek, she will turn into man,
or at all events will cease to be Il
woman. A dozen years ago. Colonel
Higginson wittily exposed the faliacy
which ''confounds the laws of sex with
the laws of digestion"
"Man and woman being of different
sexes. says some psychologist. must
obviously require different intellectual
diet. Why so. if they do not need
different physical diet? If we go home
and dine with the Psychologist. We find
him politely assisting his wife to soup.
and his daughter to roast mutton.
ignoring the fact of sex. His own
dinner-table refutes his theory; his
knife is sharper than his logic. and his
joints of mutton disjoint his argument.
Sex is certainly as marked in the body
as it is anywhere. Yet nature shows
an essential identity of the digestive
system in man and woman. If this is
true of the body. it would seem to be
true of the mind. To say. boys study
Greek and mathematics. therefore
girls, being different. should not. is as

called the 30 Sin Seer and the kie Sin
Seer. Some highblnders Of the Kie Sin

the slaughter Of its members. Long All
Tick accor iingly killed Lee Wy, who hap
